The surging poultry industry in India incurs huge economic loss due to coccidiosis owing to debility and death. Involvement of several species of Eimeria necessitates understanding of the dynamics of infection for development and intonation of intervention strategies. This paper depicts the infection dynamics of different species of Eimeria as influenced by breed type, age, and season in poultry. The survey was undertaken on 556 poultry birds maintained at Central Poultry Breeding Farm, Patna and in local poultry farms of Patna during February 2010 to January 2011, belonging to two categories of birds, viz., broilers and layers, of two age groups, viz., young (2-10 weeks) and adult (>10 weeks), and distributed over four seasons, viz., spring (February-March), summer (April-June), rainy (July-September), and winter (October-January). The incidence of coccidiosis in the study area was found to be 16.54%, based on the number of birds examined. It was significantly (P0.05) higher in...

This study was designed to determine the prevalence of eimeriosis in poultry and identify potential risk factors for its spread in Rawalpindi/Islamabad area of Pakistan. Of 359 gut samples (suspected for harbouring eimeriosis) examined, 258 (71.86%) were found infected. Four species of Eimeria (E. maxima, 34.10%, E. tenella, 30.62%, E. mitis, 13.95% and E. necatrix, 7.75%) were recorded. The prevalence

In the present study five Eimeria species viz. Eimeria tenella, E. acervulina, E. necatrix, E. maxima and E. brunetti responsible for coccidiosis are reported and its general prevalence was found to be 24 percent. Among the five Eimeria species, prevalence of E. tenella was recorded to be the highest (25%), followed by E. acervulina (15%), E. necatrix (10%). E. maxima (7%) and E. brunetti (3%). Altogether 400 stool samples (dropping) were collected by random sampling methods from four poultry farms. These samples were preserved in preservative solution (2% potassium dichromate solution). Stool samples were examined by thin feacal smear methods. There were altogether 96 cases of coccidiosis of which 25% were caecal, 35% intestinal and 40% mixed. Prevalence of coccidiosis was recorded in all the 12 months and four seasons of the study period. The highest (38%) prevalence rate was found in the month of July and the lowest (5.71%) in the month of October. The difference in monthly preva...

Poultry sector is not only the source of animal protein it also plays a vital role in the employment generation. This organized and vibrant sector is adversely affected by the protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria which causes Coccidiosis. During the months of July 2009 to June 2010, 500 gut samples of layer chickens along with 250 faecal droppings (litter samples) were collected for the detection of different Eimeria species (coccidian parasite) predominance in the different localities of district Muzaffar garh. Four different species of Eimeria i.e. E. maxima, (30.20%), E. tenella, (39.93%), E. mitis, (19.13%) and E. necatrix (10.74 %) were isolated from 298/500 (59.60%) infected gut samples. The results also indicated that young layer chickens (60.16%) have greater infection ratio as compare with adults (37%). In addition to this it was also observed that highest predominance of coccidiosis was scrutinized during the month of September (73.33%) while lowest during April (42.86%).

Coccidiosis is an intestinal disease of birds caused by a microscopic protozoan which lives and multiplies in the intestinal tract and causes damage to tissues, and eventually death. This study was carried out in three poultry farms in Minna, Niger State and among birds of ages 2 to 4 weeks and 6 weeks and above. Faecal samples were examined using the sedimentation technique. Out of 200 samples analyzed, 56 (28%) were positive for Eimeria species infection. In farm A, out of the 67 samples analyzed, 20 (29.85%) were infected. While an infection rate of 18 (27.30%) out of 65 and 18 (26.90%) out of 68 samples were infected for Farm B and C respectively. Based on age differences, Eimeria species were detected in 35 (34.65%) out of 101 young birds and 21 (21.21%) for adult birds out of the 99 samples analyzed. In Farm A 10 (30.30%) out of 33 samples were detected in young birds and 10 (29.41%) out of 34 samples in adult birds. In Farms B and C, 12 (36.36%) out of 33 and 6 (18.75%) out of 32; 13 (37.14%) out of 35 and 5 (15.15%) out of 33 samples were detected for Eimeria species for young and old birds respectively. There was a slightly higher prevalence rate among the farms and the various ages of the birds which was not significantly different at (p>0.05). The result of this study showed that the prevalence of infection was low in the 3 farms examined, and increased among the younger birds within the ages of 2 to 4 weeks old. The prescence of Eimeria species in farms could cause great economic losses in birds production. Therefore, farmers are encouraged to ensure adequate bio-security by avoiding wet litter which could encourage oocyst sporulation, and reduce the stocking density of birds.

The present study was conducted from January 2018 to December 2019 to know the prevalence of coccidiosis in backyard poultry in Jammu, Samba and Udhampur districts of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, North India. A total of 600 pooled faecal samples collected from backyard poultry were examined for presence of Eimeria oocysts. Morphometry and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based amplification of ITS-1 gene was carried to characterize the Eimeria species infecting the backyard poultry of the study area. An overall prevalence of 28.5% Eimeria spp. infection among backyard poultry birds was recorded. Among the seasons, highest prevalence was recorded during rainy season (32%) with significantly (p<0.05) high oocyst excretion (1.77±0.01) and lowest during summer (19.3%) with low oocyst excretion (0.17±0.006). Young birds upto 3 months of age were found to be more susceptible to infection than older birds, with a significantly (p<0.05) high prevalence percentage of 38.02. Mor...

In recognizing the significance of final conversations, the information Jesus shares in his Farewell Discourse (John 13-17) is considered especially important. During this conversation, in describing the new relationship he envisioned with his disciples following the events of his passion, he employs a vine and its branches as an analogy. Three core concepts seem critical to understanding this comparison-abiding in the vine, bearing fruit, and pruning. These concepts are explored within the context of Jesus' Farewell Discourse and defined relationally in connection with the new commandment he had just introduced. This new command to love each other as he had loved them (John 13:34-35) was to be the identity marker of his disciples and the key to their new relationship. From this exploration a model of spiritual formation is proposed that equates fulfilling this new commandment to abiding in the vine, emphasizing how loving those with whom a special bond is shared opens disciples to the life of the vine, which is the Holy Spirit whom Jesus promised to send. In learning to love as Jesus loved (abiding), we grant his Spirit access and freedom to work deeply within our lives (branches) resulting in increased fruitfulness (formation) as reflected in healthy relationships and loving communities that last (John 15:16).
